Guacamole Taco Crunch Burgers

Whether you’re craving tacos, burgers or spicy guacamole and chips – all three worlds collide making the choice easy!

You know when you take those first few bites of something only to realize how good it is so you eat slower to make it last longer, savoring every bite and finally when you get to the end you still feel really sad? This burger is all of that and more.

Normally I like to keep my burgers plain and let the toppings do the talking (unless it’s a veggie burger than anything goes) but I made an exception for this one. I couldn’t resist combining the two and couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

I underestimate guacamole all the time. It’s a bad habit. So rich and fatty, it really makes the burger special. The cool, creamy texture against the spiciness of the burger with the gooey cheese defies deliciousness. It’s the superhero of burgers.

In a large bowl using a fork combine the ground beef, onion, chile powder, oregano and cumin together. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Season each side with salt and pepper. Cook them however you like to cook your burgers - I use a George grill. During the last minute or two melt the cheese over top.

While the burgers are cooking mash the avocado and mix with the jalapeno. lemon, mayo, tomatoes and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the burgers on buns with generous dollops of guacamole, chips and any other toppings you like.
